I know, Mei-Ling. It's amazing that after all these years, people still don't get it.

The hard truth is that it always matters what color you're raised in and race is always relevant...it might not "matter" to the adoptive parents, but it matters to the adoptees because we're the ones who have to deal with racism and prejudice...

The idea of color blindness needs to be done away with...[unless of course, it's the actual condition in which folks cannot discern red and green, etc.]

When it comes to race, no one is truly color blind. And certainly, in my experience, there are plenty of people who see race very clearly.

I am a Korean adoptee who has been in reunion since 2009. I am also a wife and a mother of two, a sister, a friend, a relentless questioner of the status quo. I love my adoptive family and I hate being adopted. I love the life I have but wish I could have grown up with my family in Korea. My life as an adoptee is an ever-evolving journey full of complexity and seeming contradiction.
